3 GENERAL HANDLING OF P.A.T. AND POWDER LOADS MAKING SAFE FASTENINGS GENERAL HANDLING OF THE PTP-27ASMAGR, AND PTP-27ALMAGR, AND ALL P.A.T. TOOLS 1. Always point the tool away from yourself and all bystanders. 2. Open the tool before handling to make sure it is not loaded. BASE MATERIAL SUITABILITY & THE CENTER PUNCH TEST Before loading the tool or fastening into any material, check the suitability and thickness of the base material. To check base material suitability, give it the center punch test. 3. Never place your hand over the front (muzzle) of the tool. 4. Never operate the tool without checking to see if the barrel is free of obstructions and that the tool is clean and in good working condition. 5. Never attempt to alter, modify or manufacture parts for use in your Simpson Strong-Tie tool, this can cause malfunctions and result in unsafe functioning of the tool. Use only genuine Simpson Strong-Tie parts, fasteners and powder loads at all times. 6. Operators and bystanders must wear eye and ear protection, and head protection is recommended. Serious injury or death can occur if these safety items are not used. 7. Posting a warning sign, Warning, Powder Actuated Tool In Use is a minimum warning where P.A.T. tools are in use. 8. REMEMBER: use common sense and good judgement. Use these tools for their intended purpose only. Know the material you are fastening into making certain it is compatible with the powder actuated tool. CENTER PUNCH TEST: Using the fastener as a punch, with a hammer, strike a solid blow to the actual material you wish to fasten into, then look for these results: 1. If the point of the fastener is blunted, the material is too hard and is unsuitable. If the material is too hard, the fastener can ricochet, and possibly escape, striking you or bystanders and cause serious injury or death. 2. If the material cracks or shatters, it is too brittle and is unsuitable. This can result in particles striking the operator or bystanders, or the fastener could pass completely through the base material causing serious injury or death. 3. If the fastener sinks into the material with the hammer blow, the material is too soft and is unsuitable. If the material is too soft, the fastener can pass completely through and strike someone on the other side causing serious injury or death. 4. If the fastener makes a small indentation in the base the base material is suitable for fastening into. HANDLING THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR, AND POWDER LOADS 1. Never carry powder loads in the same pocket or container with fasteners or any other hard objects. 2. Never use powder actuated loads in irearms. They are more powerful than normal small arms ammunition. 3. Never carry a loaded tool from job to job. 4. Never use the tool for anything other than its intended purpose. 5. Never use powder actuated tools in lammable atmospheres. 6. Never attempt to force a load into the chamber of the tool. 7. Never strike or pry a load. 8. Always wear eye and ear protection; head protection is recommended. 9. Always properly brace yourself when working on scaffolding or ladders. DO NOT USE POWDER ACTUATED TOOLS FOR FASTENING INTO THESE MATERIALS: 1. Vertical mortar joints 6. Hardened or tool grade steel 2. Bricks 7. Cast iron 3. Hollow block or tile 8. Welded areas or torch cuts 4. Glazed tile 9. Spring steel 5. Glass 10. Natural rock BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS Thickness of the base material is perhaps the most important consideration for good safe fastenings. In concrete, the thickness must be 3 times the shank penetration; in other words, for 1" of shank penetration, the concrete must be at least 3" thick. In steel the thickness must be equal to or greater than the diameter of the shank. Fastening into any base material, which is too thin, may allow the fastener to pass through and escape resulting in serious injury or death

4 THE NO S OF P.A.T. FASTENING BEFORE CHAMBERING A POWDER LOAD GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FASTENING 1. Never Hold the tool at an acute angle to the work surface. The tool must be perpendicular to the work surface making certain that NO debris is present on the surface. 2. Never set a fastener too close to another installed fastener as this can cause a ricochet. 3. Never fasten less than 3" from the edge of unsupported concrete or masonry, or less than Z\x" from the edge of steel except for speciic applications recommended by the tool manufacturer. 4. Never fasten into rough, spalled, cracked or uneven concrete. Fasten at least 3" from the outer edge of a spalled area. 5. Never fasten into material which is too hard, such as hardened steel, welds, cast steel, marble, spring steel, natural rock, etc. This could cause the fastener to shatter and escape and result in serious injury or death. 6. Never fasten into material which is too brittle, such as glass, glazed brick, glazed tile, slate, etc. This could cause the material to shatter and result in serious injury or death. 7. Never fasten into material which is too soft, such as wood, plaster, drywall composition board, plywood, etc. This could cause the fastener to pass through and escape resulting in serious injury or death. 8. Never fasten through an existing hole in any material as the fastener could hit the edge of the hole and ricochet. 9. Never leave the chamber loaded. If you decide not to make a fastening after having loaded the tool, remove both the powder load and fastener from the tool before returning it to its case. 10. Never place your hand or any part of your body over the muzzle, or point the tool toward any person when the tool is chambered with a load. PREPARE FOR LOADING 1. Always open the tool and inspect it to be certain it is unloaded. 2. Always check to be sure that the tool is clean. Excessive dirt or debris can cause accidental iring or misiring of the tool. 3. Never load or ire the tool in an explosive atmosphere or when lammables are nearby. 4. Never use improper powder loads or fasteners in the tool, as this may be unsafe or damage the tool. 5. Always insert the fastener irst, and the load last. Make sure you never double load the fasteners. 6. Never allow bystanders to gather around you when using the tool. 7. Never guess before fastening into any unknown base material, particularly into walls, perform the center punch test described in this manual. 8. Never guess once you determine that the base material is suitable, make a test fastening with the lowest level powder load. If that powder load does not set the fastener, try the next highest load, and so on until the fastener is properly set.

5 SAFE HANDLING PRACTICES OF P.A.T. OPERATING PRINCIPLES OF P.A.T. 1. If the powder load does not ire after pulling the trigger, hold the tool irmly against the work surface for at least 30 seconds. Carefully remove the tool from the work surface, making sure to point it away from yourself and any bystanders. Remove the load and dispose of it in a can of water. Unired loads must never be thrown in trash containers or carelessly discarded in any way. 2. NEVER attempt to force or pry an unired powder load from the chamber with a sharp or pointed object, as this may cause an accidental discharge. 3. NEVER attempt to disassemble a jammed tool containing a live powder load. Tag the tool DO NOT USE and store it safely in a locked case. Call your Simpson Strong-Tie representative for tool repair. 4. If at any time during the operation of the tool you feel it is not working properly, STOP using it and call your Simpson Strong-Tie representative. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF POWDER ACTUATED TOOLS: INDIRECT-ACTING TYPE TOOL Indirect-acting type tools work by expanding gases that act directly on a piston which drives the piston forward to strike the fastener. ➋ Piston drives forward 5. If unnecessary bystanders are in the area tell them to leave, warn all others that you are using a powder actuated tool. 6. Check the work surface to be sure it is clear of any debris. Clear away any debris so that the tool sits lush on the work surface. 7. Check the work area for explosive or lammable materials. If any are found remove them before operating the tool. 8. Check the chamber of the tool to be sure there is no dirt, grit or foreign objects present. ➊ Powder load releases energy ➌ Power fastener installs into concrete, cement block or steel! The PTP-27ASMAGR and PTP-27ALMAGR are indirect-acting type tools. 9. Check the barrel to make sure you don t double load it with fasteners, and that it is clear of any obstruction. 10. Any tool found not to be in proper working condition shall be immediately removed from service and tagged Defective Tool, until it has been repaired according to manufacturer s instructions. BEFORE loading the tool, operate it a few times on a solid surface making certain all parts move freely and that the iring pin clicks when the tool is fully depressed and the trigger is pulled. Dry iring will not damage the tool. DIRECT-ACTING TYPE TOOL Direct-acting type tools work by expanding gases that act directly on the fastener without the use of a piston. Direct-acting tools are no longer manufactured in North America and are regarded as far less safe to operate than indirect-acting tools. CAUTION: Powder actuated tools are capable of fastening into concrete and/or steel. The fastener enters the work surface with an extreme amount of energy. Make certain not to misdirect the energy. SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU! As the powder actuated tool operator, your safety and the safety of those around you should always be kept in mind. Consider that the least powerful load used in powder actuated tools produce approximately 10 times the power of a.22 caliber long rile cartridge. Respect this power as you would a chain saw, a lawn mower, or a rile

6 PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR PROPER FASTENING PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR PROPER FASTENING FASTENING INTO MASONRY MATERIALS: FISH-HOOKING: Masonry materials suitable for fastening into include: Poured concrete Precast concrete Pre-stressed concrete Grout illed concrete block Grouted joints Fasteners are primarily held into masonry by a clamping of the concrete around the fastener. Factors that inluence a fastener driven into concrete include: Depth of penetration Compressive strength of concrete Fastener spacing and edge distance Fastener shank diameter Concrete aggregate Fish-hooking is when the fastener curves when driven into concrete. This is caused by the fastener hitting large, hard, or excessive amounts of aggregate, rebar, or any hard object. Fish-hooking can reduce the holding power of the fastener, result in spalling, and may increase unsafe conditions due to escaping particles. Fish-hooking can be minimized by: Reducing shank penetration Increasing shank diameter Using appropriate powder load level. Excessive power can cause over driving. Fastening through a metal disc FASTENING INTO STEEL: The most common type of steel fastened into is structural steel in the form of beam, angle iron, channel, tee, plate, and strip. The holding power of the powder actuated fastener is a function of the gripping action of the steel base material around the fastener, and the fusion of the fastener to the base material. FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE HOLDING POWER OF FASTENERS IN STEEL ARE: PROPER DEPTH OF PENETRATION: Shank diameter: Larger shank diameters increase holding power Thickness of steel base material: Thicker base material increases holding power.145" Dia. Shank Penetration Fastener Point Penetration: Getting the point to pass through base material by approximately Z\v" maximizes holding power Concrete Block & Joints Concrete psi Concrete psi Precast or prestressed concrete 4,000 psi 1" 1Z\v" 9-10 times Shank Dia. or 1Z\v" 1Z\x" 7-8 times shank Dia. or 1" 1Z\v" 5-6 times shank Dia. or M\," 1Z\v" FASTENER EDGE DISTANCE ON CONCRETE: Distance should be no closer than 3". Knurled Fasteners: Knurling on the fastener provides interlocking of the shank and the base material which increases the holding power GENERAL RULES: Minimum spacing of fasteners into steel is 1Z\x". Minimum edge distance of fasteners into steel is Z\x". Steel Thickness must be no less than the shank diameter of the fastener. MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN FASTENINGS:.300 and 8 mm headed fasteners 3" spacing. CONCRETE THICKNESS: Concrete thickness must be at least 3 times the fastener penetration

8 HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR TOOLS Never place your hand over the nose of the tool unless inserting a fastener and then only with the chamber empty. 1. Pull the magazine spring latch down, then swing the magazine door completely open. HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR TOOLS 4. Select the proper strip powder load for the application. With the metal casing pointing toward the front of the tool, insert the strip through the bottom of the handle until the bottom of the strip is lush with the bottom of the tool handle. 2. Insert a strip of 10 pins into the back to the magazine. Note the PTP-27AMGR is designed for no more than 10 pins. 3. Close the magazine door making sure the spring latch is locked. 5. Dial the power regulator to full power. The power regulator is a tool feature that allows the user to lower the power output. The ideal use of the power regulator is to achieve power output that is between powder load levels. Example: If a red powder load delivers too much power and a yellow powder load delivers too little power for the application, use a red powder load, then dial the power regulator down Z\, to ¼ down from full power. To lower the power output, turn the thumb wheel until the dial indicator moves toward the sign. Note: Only use the power regulator to reduce power by less than 1 powder load level. Using a red powder load to achieve a yellow or green powder load output is not a good use of the power regulator since doing this will shorten the life of the power regulator and other components of the tool. Even if you dial the power down, if you use a red powder load (high power load level), the tool still has to absorb the excess energy

9 HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR TOOLS DISMANTLING THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR TOOLS 6. Make sure the tool is perpendicular to the work surface. Fully depress the tool against the work surface, then pull the trigger. The PTP-27ASMAGR and PTP-27ALMAGR tools have wearable parts that occasionally need replacing, and the tool requires periodic cleaning. To dismantle the tools: 1. Pull back on the baseplate spring latch. 7. Adjust the power regulator down if necessary. Dial down the power regulator Z\, to ¼ down from full power. 2. Turn the baseplate ¼ turn and slide the baseplate with magazine off the front of the tool. 8. Remove the spent powder strip load by grasping the strip from the top side of the tool and irmly pull upwards in a smooth motion. 3. Slide the barrel out of the front of the tool. 4. Pull the piston out of the front of the barrel. 5. Slide the rubber returner and piston disk off the piston. The front of the tool is now disassembled

10 MAINTAINING AND CLEANING SINGLE SHOT CONVERSION MAINTAINING THE PTP-27ASMAGR AND PTP-27ALMAGR TOOLS: A clean and maintained tool always functions best. The PTP-27ASMAGR and PTP-27ALMAGR tools should be cleaned after each day of use, or after 1,000 continuous fastenings. While cleaning the tool, check the wearable parts such as the piston, rubber returner and piston disk for signs of wear or damage. CLEANING THE TOOLS: With the front of the tool disassembled, and with the provided lubricant and brushes, spray the lubricant, brush and wipe clean with a clean towel, the following parts: The PTP-27ASMAGR and PTP-27ALMAGR tools are fully automatic magazine tools.
